Escape From Konoha

the next day.

Sakumo went to the Hokage Building alone.

The former Sakumo team member next to him will be alone, because starting from today, he will be assigned new companions by the Hokage to form a new Sakumo team to perform tasks.

Walking to the door of the office, Sakumo knocked lightly. After the sound of 'come in' came from inside, Sakumo came in from the outside and closed the door.

"Hokage-sama."

"Here we come, Sakumo."

Sakumo, who has entered his prime, has completely restrained his aura. If he were wearing a ninja costume, he would stand here as ordinary as an ordinary person.

He couldn't feel the sharp aura that Konoha Baiya should have at all.

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, nodded secretly. Among the many Jonin in Konoha today, Sakumo was indeed unique.

Neither the new generation of genius jounin nor the ninjas of the same generation can match his edge.

In this way, the pressure around him will be reduced a lot.

Nowadays, all kinds of businessmen and foreign officials who come to Konoha to entrust tasks will ask Sakumo to take over their tasks by name, which shows the reputation and trust.

"Sorry, the original Shuo Mao team needs to be disbanded."

"From the day I lead them, I've been prepared for that. They're all ninjas in their own right."

Sakumo said.

Hiruzen agreed with Sakumo.

Since the establishment of the Shuo Mao team, countless S-level and A-level tasks have been completed.

Not to mention the only medical ninja in the team, who was not a combatant after all. The other two were both from wealthy families and had successfully been promoted to Jonin not long ago and became the main force of Konoha.

There are many considerations in splitting up Sakumo's team.

The most important thing is the attitude of Uchiha and Hinata.

"I would like to ask, what are their plans next?"

Sakumo still asked this question with concern.

"Hyuga Ayane will serve as the bodyguard of the next head of the Hyuga clan, and Uchiha Ruri will be selected into the Uchiha Guard and become a squad leader of the guard. As for Chiba Shiraishi, I plan to arrange for him to work in Konoha Hospital. Or When he went to work as a teaching assistant at a ninja school, Tsunade said that his theoretical knowledge was very solid. During his study period, he did not make any common sense mistakes and he was a relatively outstanding medical ninja."

Due to the vigorous cultivation of medical ninjas in recent years, Konoha now has twice as many medical ninjas as it did during the Second Ninja War a few years ago.

However, Konoha is one of the five major ninja villages and has an extremely large number of ninjas. Even if the number of medical ninjas is doubled on the original basis, it will not be able to take care of all aspects.

So now both the Ninja School and Konoha Hospital lack medical ninjas.

"Really? I heard that Tsunade is teaching at a ninja school now..."

"Yes." At this point, a sad look flashed in Hiruzen's eyes, as if he was regretting something, and then he calmed down and said, "Tsunade happens to be short of a deputy, so he can be sent there."

Sakumo smiled and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't too worried about Liuli and Ayane, but he was more concerned about Shiraishi's next direction.

Working in a ninja school or Konoha Hospital would basically stabilize your life for the rest of your life without any risk to your life.

As for whether there were any political factors involved, Shuo Mao didn't want to think about these troublesome things.

He himself has little interest in political matters. How to improve his strength, protect his companions, and how to complete the task perfectly are what he has to consider.

"Here are the members of your new team, let's see if they fit in."

Hiruzen placed the information on the other three members of the new team on the table. Sakumo went over to pick it up and scanned it quickly with his eyes.

"No problem. The sensing ninja, the medical ninja, and the jounin who assist in the battle. The configuration is not much different from before."

"As long as you agree. I don't know why, but I feel that my physical condition is getting worse and worse. With the team led by you, I can share a lot of pressure."

Hiruzen said with a smile.

"Master Hokage was joking, you are not yet fifty years old."

"It's almost there. And I sit here working all day, and I can only go out to practice ninjutsu occasionally. I don't know if my strength has declined."

Hiruzen was very melancholy.

"You are the professor of ninjutsu, the Hokage that Konoha trusts."

"Haha, don't worry, I can still hold on until I hand over this position to the next generation of Hokage."

Hizhan also knows that after the ninja reaches the age of fifty, it will basically go downhill.

In addition, he fought outside with the second generation of Hokage in the early years, and he also had many old injuries on his body. Recently, he felt more and more powerless.

It is indeed time to consider the next generation of Hokage.

In two or three years, let's hold the ceremony of electing Hokage candidates. Hiruzen thought to himself.

Hirizhan had no idea who to entrust the position of Fourth Hokage to.

Mainly because there are too many options available.

White Fang, the Sannin, and the new generation also have many outstanding jounin, and everyone is qualified to compete as Hokage.

They are all excellent ninjas who can inherit the will of fire.

This is the trouble called happiness.

Thinking of this, Ri Zhan felt much lighter.

◎

The land of the Hyuga clan.

People were walking in the corridor of the huge courtyard.

At the front of the team was Hinata Hiashi, the next head of the Hyuga family, followed by a man and a woman.

The man is about 20 years old, with a peaceful face. He is an outstanding Jonin of the Hyuga family. As the bodyguard of the next head of the family, Hizu, he must keep this mission in mind.

The woman next to him is still a teenager, wearing a white kimono ninja outfit. She is also a jounin of the Hyuga clan. Like the man, she serves as an elite guard for Hiashi, protecting his safety.

The girl is Ayane.

After finishing the training mission of Team Sakumo, it is natural for them to follow the arrangement and command of the family.

Her becoming a Rizu bodyguard had been decided from the beginning.

Remembering the mission of protecting the Zong family is also a duty that she must fulfill as she comes from a separate family.

Although the overall strength of the Hyuga family is inferior to that of the Uchiha clan, in terms of strict family rules, the Uchiha cannot match it.

"You two can just wait here."

"yes."

Ayane bowed slightly to the man and distanced herself from Hizu.

On the road ahead, only Rizu stepped out.

At the end, there is a young girl wearing a kimono, waiting for Hizu.

There was no forehead protector on her forehead, and there was no covering, but there was also no 'caged bird' mark on her forehead.

Although it is not the main line of the clan, it is still a branch of the clan, and its status and status are far from being comparable to those of the branch clan.

"It seems that the time for Mr. Rizu to succeed the family head is not far away."

Hinata Jonin sighed softly.

"How to say?"

"This is a blind date ceremony. After getting married, Mr. Rizu will soon become the head of the family... This is also the tradition of the clan."

"Senior Dongjian is very familiar with this process."

Ayane laughed.

Hyuga Fuyuma is the name of this Hinata Shinobi.

He is a ninja from Ayane's previous generation. In terms of talent, he is absolutely not inferior to her. His use of Byakugan and Soft Fist surpasses most of the Hyuga family.

In addition, as a branch of the family, he has a good spirit of sacrificing for the clan at any time, so he was selected as one of Rizu's bodyguards.

There is also a difference between dividing a family and dividing a family.

Most branch ninjas will not be taught the core soft fist of the Hyuga family, such as many derivative moves of the soft fist, and the 'Kaiten' which can be called an absolute defense.

They are all advanced moves that only the sect ninja can learn.

And Ayane and Dongjian were given the qualifications to study, so that they could better protect Hizuki who is the head of the clan.

"It's nothing. By the way, I heard that you performed extremely well under the command of Sakumo Jonin. You are already a Jonin at a young age. It's amazing."

Touma Jounin said with a smile.

It is rare to become a jonin at the age of a teenager, even in the talented Hyuga clan.

What's more, she is still a woman.

"I'm exhausted. I often have to complete some difficult tasks, and I narrowly escaped death several times. I don't want to experience that kind of life again. It's still a pure life in the family."

To Ayane's complaints, Fuyuma Jōnin agreed.

Although the Second Ninja World War has passed for three years, ninjas still have to work in peacetime.

Especially for an elite team like Shuo Mao's team, the tasks they accept are at least A-level.

"But you should also be careful not to get too involved with foreigners, especially in emotional matters. Hinata is different from Uchiha. Women will not be allowed to marry outside, even if it is someone else. What's more? , you are still Nizuzu-sama's guard, this position is very important."

Dongjian said meaningfully.

"What's the meaning?"

Ayane turned her head and glanced at the Touma Jounin.

"It's not interesting, it's just a member of the branch family. I don't want an excellent junin like you to be ignored by the elders."

The winter jounin sighed.

"I do not understand."

"You are a smart man. You must understand what I mean. Don't do unnecessary things. Your every move will be seen by the elders. This is the Hyuga family. For this family, there is no need to divide the family. Secretly. As Nizuzu-sama's bodyguard, our lives are different from those of the split ninjas."

Seeing that Ayane was unclear, Fuyuma Kamunin smiled wryly.

"..."

Ayane fell silent.

"My life has been arranged by the elders. My wife is a woman from a separate family that I didn't know at all. I got married in a hurry under those circumstances. Because this is the safest way. The same is true for your future life, don't try to resist, The power of the Hinata family is not something you can resist. Apart from this, you can enjoy many benefits that the branch ninjas cannot get."

"Should I thank those empathetic elders? Even the future has been carefully arranged for me."

Ayane said with a smile, there was no anger on her face, or other expressions of unwillingness.

In the pure white pupils, there is only the most innocent smile.

"Only in this way will the Hyuga family's bloodline remain pure. Our Byakugan is a very noble lineage. Genetically, we are in a different class from those civilian ninjas. I don't want to hear about you dying unexpectedly one day. "

Jōnin Winter looked up at the blue sky, where a group of birds were flying freely, showing a faint smile.

Wanting to be a free-flying bird... is such a luxurious wish.

"Don't worry, Touma-senpai, I will fulfill my mission as a Hyuga ninja."

Ayane gave a convincing and gentle smile.

"You are really a terrible woman."

Staring at Ayane's beautiful smile, there was nothing but a smile, Dong Jian couldn't help saying this.

No, I have no idea what she is thinking.

Monster? The jonin in Touma felt wary in his heart.

Working with such a monster woman, I can't relax for a moment.

◎

After finishing the blind date ceremony, Rizu let out a long breath after returning to his residence.

The feeling of exhaustion suddenly came over me.

He has to practice Rou Fist and Byakugan, he also has to learn how to manage a family, and now he has to develop a relationship with a woman he has never met before.

Except for his bedtime, everything has been arranged.

For the first time, he felt that the position of clan leader was not easy to take.

"It would be nice if Hizashi was here..."

He murmured to himself.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Hizashi for a long time.

But when he thought of the way Hizashi looked at him now, with indifference, awe, and hatred... Hizashi's mood became complicated.

He wished he could go back to the carefree days of his childhood. The way Hizashi looked at him showed respect and love for an elder brother, not the way he looked at a stranger.

From the moment they planted the caged bird, the fate of the two brothers was completely different.

One is the superior Zong family, and the other is the branch family dominated by the Zong family.

Once a child is marked for family separation, no matter how many children he has in the future, he will be marked for family separation.

Only the descendants of the clan can become the clan, and some of them are at risk of becoming a branch.

This has also led to the fact that the number of clan members is very small, while the number of split families is increasing.

Thinking of this, Rizu felt even more tired.

"If there is no family separation system, he will be sent to him every day..."

But this is just his personal emotion.

The will of the family will not be transferred by his personal will.

The fate of the branch family, the fate of the main family, has been decided from the very beginning, and no one can shake it.

"Please don't say that, Hizu-sama. It is our duty to protect the clan. Hizashi-sama will understand Hizu-sama's good intentions sooner or later."

Hinata Touma comforted Hizu like this.

In his eyes, Rizu is not the cold young master that outsiders see him as, he also has his own soft and kind side.

But in the face of family justice, he could only choose to be cold.

If he followed such a person, Dongjian felt that he would have no regrets in his life.

The treatment of the separated family will also be appropriately better.

"Senior Fuyuma, this is too cruel to say. Mr. Rizu is just out of the love and care of an elder brother for his younger brother."

Ayane said with a smile from the side.

Touma glanced at Ayane and said in a calm tone: "Hisashi-sama is Hinata's future. Our fate has long been determined, and so has Hizashi-sama's fate. As members of the branch family, we only need to protect Hidashi-sama. Enough is enough, there should be no other thoughts.”

"Fuyuma, don't blame Ayane, I just complain occasionally."

Nizu defended Ayane.

"yes."

Touma stepped aside respectfully, but kept his eyes on Ayane.

This woman is so dangerous, and Lord Hizu seems to have a lot of trust in her. Dongjian narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, he didn't want to work with Ayane.

Such a woman who can't even guess her mind is fortunately controlled by a bird in a cage.

Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for the Hyuga clan or Konoha.

"How does Nizuzu-sama feel about the future Patriarch's wife?"

"She's a nice woman."

But it's too rigid and boring, like a delicate doll. Rizu added this sentence in his mind.

Every move is full of norms, although it is not done deliberately, but she was originally decided to be transformed into such a docile and gentle woman.

The smile is also full of tenderness from the heart, but Nizuzu can't arouse interest in such a good woman.

His mother, the maids at home, and his future wife all share this template.

Like exquisite goods produced in a factory.

But here, only one person is an exception.

That is Ayane.

Beneath that gentle appearance is a complete personality that is extremely strong and has never been obliterated by the strict family rules.

Hizu could feel the difference between Ayane and those women.

From a perspective, she is no longer a rigid and serious Hyuga clan member.

What has she experienced in the past that led to such a transformation?

Who will she marry in the future?

I don't know why, but I've been paying attention to this kind of thing lately.

◎

"After the heavy task, I finally returned to this familiar place..."

Standing at the gate of the ninja school, Shiraishi didn't know what to complain about.

When he was in Sakumo's team, he would occasionally pass by the ninja school, but this was the first time he officially set foot in his hometown since graduation.

But that's okay. Compared to the hospital, the work at the ninja school will be relatively easier.

The only troublesome thing is to pay attention to the naughty children in the school.

"What's wrong, kid? You've come to this place. Are you scared out of your wits?"

A mocking laugh came from behind.

Shiraishi turned around, scratched his head and said, "No such thing, Tsunade-sensei, I'm just thinking about how to get along with my lovely juniors and juniors."

"It's good to have this idea."

Tsunade walked up and patted Shiraishi on the shoulder. She was much stronger and taller than before.

As for Tsunade's changes, Shiraishi just felt that her breasts seemed to be developing again.

It was too turbulent.

As expected of a Jonin.

Although he didn't know that there was any necessary relationship between having big breasts and being a jounin, Shiraishi still thought so.

"Don't worry, this is not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. Working here is much safer than working at Sakumo's place."

Tsunade still recognized Shiraishi's medical knowledge very much.

He still has shortcomings in many aspects, but as long as he has enough knowledge and rich experience, he is very suitable to be her deputy and teach the novices.

"Yes, I am very satisfied with this job."

Shiraishi nodded.

But to be honest, there is no danger in Sakumo's team, because every mission is completed very quickly. Every time the other three encounter enemies, they go up and kill them. He only needs to wave the flag and shout from the side, and the battle will be gorgeous. it's over.

"Come with me."

Tsunade led the way ahead, and the direction to go was still clearly remembered in Shiraishi's memory.

It was to go to the class where he originally learned medical knowledge.

The experimental class has passed several sessions now.

I'm really looking forward to it, young and lovely schoolboys and schoolgirls.

The class time of the medical ninja training experimental class, in order to avoid conflict with the main class, is still after 3 pm and ends after 5 pm.

In the graduation examination, the passing score will be lowered for students in the experimental class, and there will also be regular subsidies.

The number of people in the class is larger than Shiraishi's original class, close to forty people. It seems that in recent years, the importance of medical ninjas has been vigorously promoted internally, and many subsidies have been added, and there are still many results.

There are mostly girls, and only a few boys.

The boys and girls looked at the boy next to Tsunade with great curiosity, and they all guessed who it was.

"This is your senior, Chiba Shiraishi, who was one of my students a long time ago. Now he will cooperate with me in my work. Everyone welcomes him."

After Tsunade finished speaking, the students below applauded.

Shiraishi also nodded friendly, acting like a senior.

Next, it is the official class time.

Compared with before, Tsunade's teaching method is more groundbreaking, and many problems can be analyzed sharply.

And the students here are also convinced by Tsunade, and their study attitude is much more serious than the students of Shiraishi's class.

When Tsunade got tired of talking, she asked Shiraishi to continue. Shiraishi, who had a wealth of knowledge, could almost keep up with Tsunade after getting used to it.

The experiment can also cooperate with Tsunade, so that Tsunade can't pick out many thorns.

This kid has grown up a lot. If he is here, maybe he can be lazy and go to casinos and bars... Thinking of this, Tsunade smiled.

Poaching this kid from Shuo Mao was indeed the right choice.

The perfect tool man.

"Really, it's just the first day and you've dumped all the work on me?"

After class, Shiraishi sighed and didn't know what to say when he saw that Tsunade was missing in the seat next to him.

"Well, Senior Shiraishi, can I ask some questions?"

After everyone left, a girl came next to her. She had shoulder-length dark brown hair and a gentle smile. She looked like a very well-behaved and cute type.

"no problem."

Shiraishi readily agreed to the other party's request and asked the other party to sit next to him to discuss the medical knowledge that she did not understand.

Just as he was about to speak, a roar suddenly came from outside the classroom door:

"What do you guys want to do to Lin! You are so close, damn it, look at it!"

As he said that, he threw himself at Baishi viciously without any hesitation.

Baishi immediately turned his head sideways, and the other party flew over his head gorgeously, and his whole body was stuck against the opposite wall.

His roaring stopped abruptly, and he slid down the wall.

"Obito, Obito!?"

The girl Lin recognized the identity of the boy who attacked Shiraishi. It was Obito, a classmate in the same class, and ran over in a panic to see if he was okay.

"Are you OK?"

"Haha, no, it's okay. This little injury is not a problem at all. Look at how strong I am? This little thing is all right!"

As he said that, he immediately blushed and jumped up from the ground, doing exaggerated stretching exercises there, indicating that he was fine.

"Student, did you just want to show how to be a gecko? Even though it's the end of get out of class, you have to be careful."

Shiraishi walked over and looked at the boy with a headache.

Appeared, the brat who often made teachers difficult when he was in school.

"Hmph, don't think that I don't know your details, you are the "Shiraishi who eats soft food" in our Uchiha, right?"

The other party seemed to want to embarrass Shiraishi.

Baishi nodded: "That's right, I did eat it."

Huh? Admit it? No hesitation?

Is this something to be proud of?

The dialect cannot be continued.

"When a woman is willing to support this man, don't you think this is also a man's ability?"

Shiraishi said so.

Obito was speechless and wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to use to refute.

"Speaking of which, you just said 'our Uchiha'... you belong to Uchiha too?"

"Of course, don't you see the logo on the back of my clothes?"

"I didn't see it. Maybe you pretended to be and secretly traced it yourself."

Obito's stomach was about to explode.

Pumped his fist again.

Baishi turned his body sideways, and lay on the ground with his butt facing the sky.

"Food...you are really despicable! You even set a trap under my feet!"

"Obito, you obviously slipped and fell yourself, and it has nothing to do with Senior Shiraishi."

Lin came over and felt helpless towards Obito.

"..."

Shiraishi looked at this scene a little speechless.

Is this guy... really from Uchiha?

Liuli’s tribe?

There is no doubt that this is a real fool.
